Re: What do you like best about the holidays?

Times have certainly changed. When I went to school, our Christmas holidays began at school closing on December 24th (or the 23rd if Christmas was on Sunday) and began again on January 2nd (or the 3rd if New Years was on Saturday).

Re: What do you like best about the holidays?

That they end. That is all.

I'm not a Scrooge or a Grinch or anything, but I haven't enjoyed the holidays in years and years. I'm just tired of it. Year after year, always the same thing, starting a little bit earlier every year. The same Thanksgiving with the same people eating the same food; the same gawdawful Christmas songs on the radio, the same lights on the neighbors' houses, the same bright red and gold and green in the stores, the same fucking bells all over the place; the same tree, the same dinner and the same relatives as last month's holiday, then the same birthday, the same New Year's Resolutions... it's just so damnably same.
